CIA Report on Mossadeq Overthrow
(On June 16, 2000, the New York Times published on its Web site PDF files of a
secret CIA report: "CLANDESTINE SERVICE HISTORY, OVERTHROW OF PREMIER
MOSSADEQ OF IRAN, November 1952-August 1953," an operation planned and
executed by the CIA and British SIS. The Times wrote in an introductory note
that names of participants in the overthrow were digitally edited from the
report "after consultations with historians who believed there might be
serious risk that the families of some of those named as foreign agents would
face retribution in Iran." Cryptome has recovered the majority of the
edited text of the files and is publishing the report unedited except for
unrecoverable redactions, and Sections IX and X as well as four appendices which
were not edited).
